Hanna and Andrew hear from a Scrub Jockey whose life changed after spending all day cooking. They also talk about one benefit of cleaning up under a real Christmas tree. Plus, Andrew has a late-in-life realization about class, and Hanna is obsessed with a Bush-era economic recovery program for some reason.

It's Soup Season! Which means it's also Your-House-Probably-Smells-Like-Soup Season! Hanna and Andrew discuss how to deal with cooking smells trapped in your house during the winter. We also hear from some Scrub Jockeys with two very different stories about dealing with loved ones' belongings after they pass. And Andrew's attempt to gain favor with the literary elite gets stuck in the mud.

Hanna and Andrew spend today's show discussing tidiness, compulsion, and the twisted world of double negatives as they explore an article about housekeeping habits in Southern Living Magazine. (They also take a moment to consider low-rise jeans, skinny eyebrows, and side-parts, thanks to the same publication.) And they hear from a Scrub Jockey whose recent experience with family loss has her reconsidering her own belongings.

The Scrub Jockeys share their stories of going through loved ones' belongings after they pass away. And Andrew admits to an embarrassing, spray paint related crime that he committed 30 years ago.

Hanna went to a fragrance fair, and she didn't even bring Andrew with her! But she did bring back some great finds. They also discuss the strict scrutiny of Goodwill donation centers (and how it varies from state to state), and how Andrew might be using cable management to deal with grief.

Hanna is going hard this apple season; Unfortunately, so are the fruit flies. Andrew became a man recently in a boutique home goods store. And the Scrub Jockeys weigh-in on blood stains, castile soap, and hidden money in hotel rooms.

A gift from a listener promises to be "better than A.I." when it comes to helpful household hints. It also leads Hanna and Andrew down memory lane to a time when women could clean and moisturize their hands at the same time. (Oh, Madge!)

Andrew's saga involving a mystery smell in his basement has gone from bad to worse, and he's now dealing with biblical levels of pestilence. Meanwhile, Hanna had quite the fright getting out of bed the other day, and it reminded her why it's important to keep her spaces clean.

Andrew has a mystery smell in his basement, and he's tearing the whole place apart trying to figure it out. AND THAT'S NOT EVEN THE TOP STORY TODAY! He also found an unwanted "gift" on his treelawn, and he's raging mad about it. Meanwhile, Hanna finally met the stain that she might not be able to beat.
